Fraser and Fraser – Public Health Funerals and Empty Homes Services.

As a firm of leading genealogists and international probate researchers, Fraser and Fraser truly understand the sensitivity that needs to be applied to issues such as tracing next-of-kin.

From the outset, we provide clarity regarding the process and costs involved, while at the same time providing you with the added security that all of your information is handled with strict confidentiality.

Our reliable results are built upon comprehensive experience, having worked with the Public Sector since 1971.

We support all Public Sector departments that require assistance with tracing next-of-kin via a number of services, including:

The probate research industry’s first Free Family Tree Checker

A case report update within 24 hours

An in-house broker division working with multiple insurance companies to provide Missing Beneficiary and Missing Will policies, secured at the best possible rates

By referring your case to us, we can trace next-of-kin at no extra cost to the Local Authority. We’ll start searching immediately. If we are able to make an agreement with the next-of-kin, and therefore have authority to handle the estate, we can then take the rest of your responsibilities off your hands.
